Project description:blood miRNA expression in ischemic stroke compared to controls miRNA expression in blood cells from patients with ischemic stroke were compared to controls with vascular risk factors
Project description:The purpose of this project was to elucidate gene expression in the peripheral whole blood of acute ischemic stroke patients to identify a panel of genes for the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood samples were collected in Paxgene Blood RNA tubes from stroke patients who were >18 years of age with MRI diagnosed ischemic stroke and controls who were non-stroke neurologically healthy. The results suggest a panel of genes can be used to diagnose ischemic stroke, and provide information about the biological pathways involved in the response to acute ischemic stroke in humans. Total RNA extracted from whole blood in n=39 ischemic stroke patients compared to n=24 healthy control subjects.

Project description:The roles of mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) are widely known in many diseases including acute ischemic stroke. About 60 % of all human messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are regulated by microRNAs. Integration analysis using mRNA and miRNA are important to elucidate pathogenesis. But the contribution of mRNA and miRNA, especially miRNA targeted mRNA, related with severity of acute ischemic stroke is not remain understood. To clarify the pathway related with the severity of acute ischemic stroke, we examined mRNA and miRNA integration analysis targeted for acute ischemic stroke.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal and ischemic stroke patients blood samples. The Illumina Infinium 850k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in liquid. Samples included 3 healthy people blood samples, 3 ischemic stroke patients blood samples.
Project description:The human immortalized brain endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 is considered an in vitro model of the blood-brain-barrier. We aimed to characterize changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) by SILAC, in order to identify new proteins involved in ischemia-triggered blood-brain-barrier disruption and test their potential as blood biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis. After SILAC analysis, 19 proteins were found differentially secreted between OGD and normoxia/normoglycemia conditions (Fold Change>|1.4| and peptide count≥2). Protein folding and nucleic acid binding were the main molecular functions and epithelial adherens junctions and aldosterone signaling appeared as the main canonical pathways represented by OGD-secreted proteins. ANXA1, CLUS, IGFBP2, PRDX3, TIMP2 and COL1A2 were replicated by western blotting in 9 independent cell cultures. Five replicated proteins were analyzed in human serum samples of 38 ischemic stroke patients compared to 18 stroke-mimicking conditions and 18 healthy controls by ELISA. IGFBP2 showed increased blood levels when strokes were compared with stroke-mimicking patients (p<0.1). In conclusion, we characterized changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 after an ischemic insult and highlighted some candidates to become biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis related to blood-brain-barrier disruption.
Project description:The high incidence, mortality, and disability rate of ischemic stroke impose huge economic burdens on patients and social health care systems.N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most extensive RNA methylation modifications in eukaryotes and participates in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases including ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood neutrophils are forerunners after ischemic brain injury and exert crucial functions.However, the underlying mechanisms of neutrophils in ischemic stroke need to be further clarified. This study aims to explore the transcriptional profiles of m6A modification in neutrophils of patients with ischemic stroke. The Arraystar Human m6A-mRNA&lncRNA Epitranscriptomic microarray analysis was performed on the peripheral blood neutrophils of 3 patients with ischemic stroke and 3 healthy controls, providing the clinical significance of m6A modification on ischemic stroke.
Project description:Many hospitals lack facilities for accurate diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Circular RNA (circRNA) is highly expressed in the brain and is closely associated with stroke. In this study, we examined whether the blood-borne circRNAs can be promising candidates as adjunctive diagnostic biomarkers and their pathophysiological roles after stroke. We profiled the blood circRNA expression in mice subjected to experimental focal cerebral ischemia, and validated the selected circRNAs in AIS patients. We demonstrated that 128, 198 and 789 circRNAs were significantly altered at 5 min, 3 h and 24 h after ischemic stroke, respectively.
Project description:Obesity is well recognized as a risk factor for coronary heart disease and mortality. The relationship between abdominal obesity and ischemic stroke remains less clear. Previous publication showed the obesity is an independent, potent risk factor for ischemic stroke in all race-ethnic groups. It is a stronger risk factor than BMI and has a greater effect among younger persons. The goal of this experiment was to compare genome wide enrichment of H3K9ac histone mark profile of white blood cells of healthy controls, patients with obesity and/or stroke in order to understand the histone modifications differences behind the different phenotypes. There were 3 subjects in each group.
